8-22-25 - 8am - Broken Windows and DC Clean Up

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm not sure why companies keep hiring woke leadership for
cracker barrels. CEO rumor is that she wanted to clear
all the walls of cracker barrels of clutter, and that
she was going to have different prices for cracker barrels

(00:22):
depending on the neighborhood. It was in what an idiot.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Most people dragon? You like bacon? I love bacon. I
love bacon too. I haven't had a BLD in a
long time. A good BLD sounds kind of good right now.
But the problem with bacon is that islaw must disapprove
of it, and therefore going back to just kind of
finish the little finishing touch on the previous story. If

(00:55):
you're a Briton, you can be arrested for saying things
like I like bacon. Cumbriy, England. Here's where the scenario developed.
The townsfolk were objecting to yet another Islamic mosque that
was being erected just adjacent to their small town. So

(01:15):
there's viral footage, but there's some f bombs. It's kind
of difficult to understand, but there's viral footage that confirms
a man saying we love bacon, he's kind of standing
out by himself and he's shouting, we you know, we
love bacon, We love bacon. He gets handcuffed and arrested.

(01:36):
Now he might have said we want bacon. I don't know,
maybe that's what he should have done. Anyway, he asked
why he's being arrested, and an officer confirms because he
mentioned bacon, which under the Public Order Act of nineteen
eighty six apparently can be considered quote threatening or abusive

(01:57):
words or behavior. I've eaten a lawful lot of traditional
English breakfasts. All things traditionally English apparently are potentially offensive
to Muslims and therefore subject to repression or even worse
by oppression, I actually mean being arrested for it. If

(02:19):
it's this bad in Britain, now imagine a tyranny. If
and when Muslims establish a majority status, pushback will have
to ramp up sooner it's going to be too late.
Step one is to pry Islam's grip from power before
it gets even further shouting I love bacon. I have

(02:45):
no fear even if there were Muslims sitting in there
on their decks, you know, their patios or balconies, on
these condos across the street. I would have no fear
of going out and standing in the circle drive of
this building and shouting toward their direction. I love Bacon

(03:07):
to protected speech. I have no fear of criticizing a
public employee or a public servant, and a politician an
elected official because of the First Amendment. And I do
believe that we have put way too many limits on
the First Amendment, much as I believe we put way

(03:30):
too many, if any limits at all, on the Second Amendment.
But then I'm a radical when it comes to civil liberties.
In other news, remember when the Occupy Wall Street was
all out there and they were exploiting the two thousand
and eight financial crisis. They were infesting, and I do
mean infesting public areas. You know, they were shrieking and

(03:51):
they would have those little remember they would they would
they would snap their fingers, you know, as applause, and
then they would all go highland and somebody would speak,
and you know, they had to give some sort of
pets they resign a poem they were making up in
their head as they went along, and then when they finished,
they would kind of put their head down, and they

(04:14):
were filthy dirty, and you know they came from you know,
the upper middle class or you know, upper class parentage,
and they but nonetheless they were out there or the
one percent, demonizing the one percent in the name of Marxism. Well,

(04:34):
those smelly, malevolent kooks were right about this much. We
probably had been abused by a nefarious one percent. But
it's not the one percent that they were griping about.
It's the hardcore criminal one percent that's championed by liberals
like they do in Great Britain. Steven Miller of the
S senior advisor to President Trump, was with Trump yesterday

(04:58):
as they were going out and having pizza. Did you
see the video of that? I found it. I know
I'll get to corny here, but I was really moved
by it. Now. The first thing that I saw I'll
give back to Stephen Miller in just a second. The
first thing that I saw that I thought, because the

(05:21):
the chiron was Trump on his way to feed National
Guard and Metropolitan Police Department and other federal agents that
had gathered somewhere, maybe at the Navy Yard or someplace.
So he was on I three ninety five, and the

(05:42):
the anchor whoever was telling the story was talking about
how Trump was going out to do a drive you
know what would essentially be, you know, a drive with
the local law enforcement to see how things were going.
And I thought, Nah, that's not going to happen. He's
not going to get in a hum vy. He's not
going to get in a in a patrol car with

(06:06):
the Metropolitan Police Department and go out and then have
them run into somebody unless they have it perfectly staged
with secret service and everything. I say, so, I thought
to myself, that's not going to happen. But what I
watched is there's an area of three ninety five that
you come across the Arlington Bridge and you're heading into
DC and maybe you're going to go up to the Capitol,

(06:28):
and three ninety five kind of splits off. There's different exits,
as you know any any normal interstate, but it comes
up and it's elevated before it makes a curve to
go around. So you enter a tunnel that goes under
the US Capitol and it's always jam packed, it's always
backed up, and there here comes the motorcate and of

(06:52):
course all I can think about is everybody on the
on the on ramps and the off ramps have been
stopped by the car, that all of the intersections are
closed off, that all the ramps, everything are closed off,
so that the motor Cake can make its way from
the White House around three ninety five to wherever they
were going, probably, as I said, the Navy Yard. And

(07:14):
all I could think about was those porschemucks. It's it's already,
you know, like five or six o'clock in the evening,
and here's the President just shutting down traffic. So I thought,
on the one hand, you're doing a really good thing,
but you're doing it at the wrong time of day.
But it's probably never a good time of day to
take the motor cake around in Washington, d C. But
I digress. Anyway, he shows up and he's got I

(07:39):
think a thousand I think somebody said a thousand, or
maybe it's either one hundred or a thousand boxes of
pizza to feed all of these cops and National guardsmen
and others. And he's he's just having a great time
telling them about what a great job they're doing, how
we're going to clean this city. Yeah, we're going to

(08:01):
clean off the graffiti, We're gonna resurface things, We're gonna
paint things. He made a point of saying, we're not
gonna build anything. We're just going to clean things up.
We're gonna fix the grass. We're gonna mow the grass.
We're gonna fertilize the grass. We're gonna clean the sidewalks.
We're gonna get rid of the graffiti. We're gonna fix
everything up. So this city is a is a shining

(08:23):
city on a hill. I having lived in that city
for almost six years off and on, I was I
was like, truly, I know it sounds corny, but I
was moved by it because it is a it is
a great city. And I have fond memories. I got
awful memories, but I have fond memories of you know,

(08:45):
either with or without my detail, wandering around and it's
just well, it's it's our nation's capital. And here is
a guy who Now, when I was there during the
Bush administration, it really wasn't that bad. I mean, southeast
d C along the end Anacostia River was a little sketchy,

(09:10):
but I mean I wouldn't wonder around there at night.
But other parts of DC it didn't bother me. And
I know, yes, sometimes I had a detail with me.
But since then it has truly deteriorated, where if you
were to tell me, say last week, that you were
going to d C taking your family on a trip,

(09:30):
I would say be careful. Now. It's not like any
other major metropolitan area. There's some good parts and there's
some good bad parts. But what's happened in d C
is what Stephen Miller lays out nicely in the context
of Democrats objecting to restoring law in order in d.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
C too long.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
This city has been terrorized, and the voice that you
hear out there, those.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Place of communists, they have.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
No roots, they have no.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Connections to the city, They have no families there is
in the city. They have no one that they are
sending to.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Smol in the city.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
They have no jobs in the city, they have no
connections with this community at all.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
But they're the ones been advocating for the one.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Percent, the criminals, the killers, the.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Rapists, their drug viewers.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
And I'm glad they're here today because me and the
Vice President all gonna leave here and inspire by them.
We're gonna add thousands more resources to the city to
get the criminals and they get better out of here.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
We're gonna discandle these.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Networks, and we're gonna prove that the city concern for
the law lighted citizens who live there. We're not gonna
let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone
the nation's capital. And let's just Sichos mother, all these
devastrators that you see out there in Roos and day
and all of these elderly white hippies, they're.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Not elderly white hippies. I love that phrase. The one
percent are elderly white hippies.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Part of the city never happened.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
And by the way, most assistens to the Walkington DC
are black.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
This is not a city that's had any safety for
if black citizens for generations.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
And President Trump is the one who is suf fixing
that with the support of the Metropolitans Department of the
support of the National Guard in our corn lawns officers.
So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies did
all we could go holme and take it now because
they're all over ninety years old, and we're.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
Going to get back to the business.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
And I'm protecting the Erica. You will have a citizen of.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Washington, New City.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I love that because every mayor of every metropolitan marriot,
Mike Johnson, we're looking at you, Mike Kaufman, We're looking
at you. We're it mayor of sunk some small town
in Colorado, We're looking at all of you. It doesn't
take a lot of effort. It's just a matter of

(12:01):
making certain that your budget is prioritized correctly, that public safety.
You know, we don't ask a lot for all of
the taxes that we pay. We don't ask for a lot.
Just sufficient policing, not too much, not too little, just
the right amount of policing to keep crime at bay.

(12:23):
Just enough money to keep the streets and the bridges
and the roads and the highways and everything, you know,
the sidewalks, you know, repaired and in working order. It's
all we ask for. But they don't do that because
we spend way too much. Because the white liberal hippies

(12:44):
really want to embark upon, as he calls them, communists.
They want to embark upon communism. And that's really what's
happening in the country and what Trump is showing. And
again I will freely admit that is an exception. Because
it is not a municipality, it is not a city,

(13:06):
it is not a state, it is the federal district,
thus the District of Columbia. But nonetheless, even with his
extraordinary powers in the District of Columbia, he's showing that
all the politician has to do is just stand up
and say, we're not going to tolerate this anymore. If

(13:27):
Mike Johnston truly wanted to fill his budget hole, he
would just say, you know what, We're going to reallocate
all the money that we spend on the vacant hotels
that sit empty that we're going to sell to a
developer for ten bucks somewhere we spent nine million dollars on.
Think about what you could do with that nine million

(13:49):
dollars in terms of repairing streets, or nine million dollars
to hire additional cops or firefighters to just put a presence.
Because all we're talking about is a presence. It's the
broken windows theory. You just let the little things go
and it just grows and grows and grows and grows.
And I think that that is the kind of savagery

(14:11):
that we're starting to see in society.

Speaker 9 (14:13):
Michael, you want to give a quick recap as to
what the broken windows theory is Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
The broken windows theory is basically, you know, this was
Rudy Giuliani's theory that when you let the little things
go litterally literally brought a broken window on maybe a
vacant storefront, that is a sign to the to the
worst of our society that we don't care. And when

(14:39):
you don't care, that empowers them, that encourages them to, Oh,
the window is broken, Let's just break in and build
a homeless encampment inside there. Oh the window's broken and
it's not taken care of. Let's break into that bodega
and just rob it. Graffiti and turnstile jumpers on the

(15:00):
in New York City, that's the sign that, oh, I
can just go on get on a train. I can
jump the turnstile, get on a train, and I can
just commit chaos, intimidate people, scare people, rob people, mug people,
beat up people, do whatever. And Juliani's theory was, you
take care of those little things, the big things resolve themselves.

(15:23):
Because it's even as simple as being told that when
you go on vacation, make sure that you know someone's
watching your house to pick up if you get a
newspaper to pick the newspaper up off the driveway, or
to take the flyers that people sticking your door out
your door, and to put your lights on a timer
to make it look like someone's living there. It's those

(15:47):
little things that you positively do that because burglars are lazy,
they don't want to go to They want to go
to the house that's got the newspapers piled up on
the driveway, the flyers stuff from the door. Oh these
people aren't home, I can break in there or put
up a gun free zone sign. They don't care whether
you're there or not. Now they're going to go in
the broken windows. Theory is take care of the little things.

(16:09):
The big things resolve themselves, and that's what they're doing
in DC. They're just they're they're putting out a police
presence that just says we're not going to tolerate this anymore.
And by not tolerating it anymore, they go elsewhere, disappear,
or they stop. Now crime criminals are always going to

(16:30):
be criminals, and we're always going to have crime. But
what we've done in this country is instead of policing
to prevent crime, which you can't always do. I admit that,
but by a police presence, you deter the crime. So
a crime that might occur because there's no copper round,
there's a broken window, there's nobody paying attention, there's no prosecution.

(16:52):
All you're going to get arrested, but no, Bailey, get
right back out. That just encourages more crime. But the
minute they hear, oh, you're going to get arrested and
you're going to spend you know, you might spend four
days in jail before you see a judge, and then
the judge is going to impose a bail on you,
and you're going to come up with some money to
get out on bail, and then you're actually going to
be prosecuted. You might actually spend some time in jail.

(17:14):
The person who is on the fence about whether to
commit the crime or not may not commit the crime.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
Do you know what?

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I want to go to one more story because I
think that this whole just not prosecuting and letting things
go to crap is why our society is degenerated.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
Hey, Michael, you talk about a cabal that ancestrous group
in California is unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Isn't Gavin Newsom related to Nasty Pelosi? Yes? Who has
the most slappable face you've ever seen. Take care. Yeah,
it is a cabal, so real quickly, let's go to
let's go to Trump because he's been speaking today about
what he's doing. But hear him say, I mean, we'll

(18:05):
here for some other people say about what he's trying
to accomplish. It's good.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Well, I just want to thank everybody very much for
being here. I wanted to do this. We've had some
incredible results and results have come out and it's like
a different place. It's like a different city. It's the capital.
It's going to be the best in the world. We're
going to do what you're doing with law enforcement, and
very importantly also, we're going to physically do it. We're

(18:34):
going back to Congress for some money.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Then we're going to redo.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
A lot of the pavement, a lot of the medians,
a lot of the Graffiti's all coming off real fast.
It's going to come down real fast.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
That's exactly what needs to be done. That's that is
implementing the broken windows theory. But listen to CNN because
they're even forced to admit that, well, guess what, cities,
why do you believe that.

Speaker 8 (19:02):
I think that I'll just say that Pete is right
that there's palpable increase in the quality of life in
DC right now. It's like crime has evaporated almost overnight.
I know we all have friends there. I know that
they feel a lot safer. I know they're in a week.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
People are not leaving their houses. There's a difference between
police presence and a police state. And police presence, yes,
makes people feel more safe and makes people be more safe,
But police presence means community policing. It means trust, it
means infrastructure, It means police who actually are invested in
the future of that community, not National guardsmen who are
dropped in from six other states.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
But you know what they don't understand is to get
to community policing, you have to first have a police presence.
You can't just say okay, we're going to go out
and we'rcelles have you know, more cops out walking the
neighborhoods and everything. You've got to first eliminate the crime problem.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
Did she damn near just say people are too afraid
to go outside.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
To commit crimes?

Speaker 9 (20:01):
Yes, yes, almost.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yes, I know, I know. And so she's trying to
equate what Trump's doing with a police state. It is
not a police state. It is we're going to clear
this out. It's like you got to clear the mob.
You get the mob cleared out, and then you can
start to implement community policing. And I'm all for that

(20:24):
because the police presence is what's going to protect you.
She's Pam BONDI goes into more detail about what they
want to do.

Speaker 10 (20:34):
And he's also going to make America clean. As you
were talking about earlier, the President is so excited about
fixing up DC. All new grass sprinkler systems are monuments
getting rid of the graffiti, and that's what people are loving.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
You know, Sean.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
You only hear from the minority who are out there
screaming and yelling that they don't want this. But the
people of DC are actually thanking our officers, all of
our federal, state and local officers when they're out there
all night long fighting to keep America safe. And I
think it's crystal clear because the homicide rate has been
none this last week.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
None none. And by the way, I might equipple with
her word that they're out there fighting for the people.
There's not a lot of fighting going on because again
going back to the example of the burglars. They're lazy,
they don't really want to fight the cops. Now we
know we're going to tax player relief shops a little bit,

(21:31):
and we know we got idotes out there that like
to fight the cops, but they usually end up dead
right there. All Trump's doing is a sweep and then
he wants to follow on with additional cops, community policing,
doing all the things everybody's screaming about. That is not
a police state, that is simply trying to clean things up.

(21:56):
Host of It News Nation said something that I thought
was spot on.

Speaker 7 (22:02):
Crumb's visit is just the latest example of the President
escalating his fight with Democrats over everything.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
But he thinks that this.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
Fight over the crackdown on crime is a winning one.
Crumb's decision to visit the guard wasn't meant for the
folks living in the district. It was meant for you
in the middle of America. Eighty percent of the people
living in DC despise the takeover, despite the fact that
crime is down substantially the takeover.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
The takeover there was never a takeover because the District
of Columbia belongs to the federal government. He is statutorily
authorized to do this. So when Leland Vitterer talks about takeover,
it caught my ear because it's like, wait a minute,
it's not a takeover and was I'll tell you what

(22:56):
was for people outside the district. Do you know see
has to slip in. Yeah, you know, the people inside
the district really do kind of like the fact that
crime is kind of going away. But this was for you, yes,
you you know what it is that is for you
an example of what can be done if we will

(23:17):
just reprioritize our funding, focus on law enforcement, actually prosecute
and jail those who break the law. In other words,
kind of do what we always did up until the
Marxist got such strident control over all leavers of government.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
It goes to show you how real the hatred for
President Trump is in DC. There's a number of people
in DC who would prefer more crime to Donald Trump
getting a win. The President is portraying a strong on
crime persona to the rest of the nation, and the
message is a day or if you will, to democratic

(24:04):
mayors and governors who let crime run rampant. Number one,
he's going to call them out. But number two Basically,
he's saying that if you don't clean up your cities,
I President Trump will do it for you.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
No, that's not visit, that's not what he's saying. He's saying. Look,
he's saying too, not to those mayors, although he is
indirectly saying to the mayors that look, it can be done.
He's saying to you and me, if you want this done,
you need to make sure that your mayors, your governors,
your city councils know that you want this done too.

(24:42):
Look at Denver, Look at how crap I mean, Denver
truly is a craphole city. Nobody with the exception of,
you know, groups like Do Better Denver, people like the
conservative hosts myself and Capitalists and Ryan and the blonde
chick across the hall, and the Jew across the hall,

(25:03):
all of them. We all pointed out. I don't live
in Denver. I work in Denver. But if I lived
in Denver, I would be calling the Mayor's office. I
would be that curmudgeon. I would truly be the curmudgeon
that would be totally on Mike Johnston's ass every single day.

(25:25):
That's why I think a group like Do Better Denver
or to be precise, an individual like at Do Better
Denver on xCE and Instagram is doing yeomen's work. They're
doing the work. She is doing the work they're quite
frankly everybody should be doing. And if everybody did that,

(25:46):
there would be a change. But I know too many
people commute into Denver than out of Denver, So you know,
like me, you really don't give a rat's ass. I mean,
I do care, but I'm more concerned about where I live,
not so much where I work, and quite frankly, where
I work is not nearly as bad as if I
were working downtown. If I were working downtown, if these

(26:07):
stations were located even in their original place back when
it was Jakore or Clear Channel, yeah, I might be
that noisy guy, that curmudgeon. I might be constantly hounding
the mayor and the city council. I probably should be anyway,
but I have other things to do. But if I
lived in Denver, if I lived and worked and shopped

(26:29):
and did everything in Denver, damn right, I would be
at the curmudgeon. But instead we don't. That's precisely how
they get by with doing what they're doing is because
those who are most affected by the crime never say

(26:49):
or do anything until it hits home with them. And
even then all they do is they wait for the
television station to show up, and they get a microphone
and a TV camera their face, and then they bitch
and moan about it, and then they just go right
back to their everyday lives. That allows Mayor Johnston and
the Denver City Council, That allows the Colorado polit Bureau

(27:12):
and governor Polos to just continue to do what they
do day in and day out because there is no resistance.
It's time for some serious resistance, some time for some really,
really in your face objection. And Trump is showing that

(27:33):
those leaders if you, if you're and they're not afraid
of us as part of the problem. But if they
were truly afraid of us, and I mean ballot wise,
voting wise, if they were afraid of us because we
were willing to call them out publicly for their failures,
for their for their absolute acts of old mission and commission,

(27:57):
they would be afraid of us and things would change.
But they're not. And in fact, many too many Republicans,
too many Conservatives, fight among themselves instead of fighting those
who are the real problem just turned in. So if
I missed it or repeating something, I apologized that the

(28:17):
fbigistrated John Bolton's house. Wonder what they're going to find
a mustache, a mustache full of lice. So let me
give you an example what I mean about police, Denver
City Council, the rest. So a couple of days ago,
the Denver Post had a story. The headline is this,

(28:38):
Governor Jared Polis and Denver officials defend immigration policies, rebuffing
Trump administration demands. Again, remember this is from the Denver Compost.
Governor Jared Polis and Denver City attorney defended state and
local policies restricting cooperation with civil immigration enforcement in letters
to US Attorney General Pam Bondi this week, defying Trump

(29:01):
administration demands that those limits be rescinded. Why we've seen
what happens now. Illegal aliens cannot well, let me rephrase
that illegal aliens are not permitted, and the law denies

(29:22):
them access to commercial driver's licenses. They can under cend it,
build I think it's two fifty one. They can get
a regular driver's license, but that regular driver's license is
not a precursor to a commercial driver's license for an
illegal alien, So we won't have or should not have

(29:42):
the same situation that we had where California gave a
CDL to a truck driver who goes down to Florida
and kills three people as he tries to cross a
meetian on a interstate highway divided, you know, trying to
cross any emergency crossover restricted to emergency vehicle cross or
like the accident for some reason which is not getting

(30:03):
much attention, where the truck driver, again an illegal alien
in Nevada, is just weaving back and forth across a
sometimes two sometimes three lane highway as it goes up
and down through the mountains, and is swerving over into
oncoming traffic, and a group of motorcyclists come around the
corner and three of them unfortunately don't have time to

(30:25):
swerve out of his way and slam right into the
cab of the truck. We should not have those stories
in Colorado, but nonetheless, what we do have are gang members,
illegal aliens who are wanted on actual crimes, and the
